Based on the image with the reflection, the photographer is probably closer to 12 - so there is indeed a chance they are still alive. The meaning of copyright is changing as these images are being divorced from their physical medium. It can

Fair enough. Now, can you justify your sentiment ? Which was what I asked about? (Or is it more fun to just cycle around in indifferent ontological ramblings?) Answer to the edit: I am not upset by the numbers. I am asking how you will ens

Common source, great! First, you seems to conflate "free markets" (Whatever free means here?) with decentralized spending. How does that make sense? And more importantly: If we can agree that a democracy ought to be an aspiration

Numbers do lie - it would be nice to have a breakdown of this. Maybe the difference, 16% points, is what affords the European a fair treatment upon illness where half of that is "shareholder value" in the US. Feel free to link t

In the world predating didn't have single factories serving hundreds of millions of people - such a concentration of risk very much merits a FDA. It is all about risk. FDA enables civilization to grow above a certain threshold.

There is a concept I'd recommend you to get familiar with: Systemic risk. Nobody really cares about you and your sandwich. But whenever we introduce single point of risk into the society these needs to be managed. Fair enough, you are

Yep, let's wing serving 400 million sandwiches - whatever the risk that the US population dies of salmonella or listeria. Anyways, one of the things about growing up is realizing that there is more to the world than just innovation.

Why shouldn't it apply to larger contracts? There is a very easy way to get around such a requirement from legislation: Just call it licensing instead of a purchase. The need for such a legislation is corporations reckless use of the

That is wrong - while you need the insurance to be eligible, the governments finances most of the unemployment payout. It is a hybrid model. The insurance premium is also entirely tax deductible and nowhere enough to cover the scheme - the

We have this in Denmark where you can get up to 2 years of unemployment benefit - also when you quit yourself (you will get a one-month quarantine, though). Denmark has a 2.9% unemployment rate: https://www.dst.dk/en/St

It seems like you fully agree with the parent. I also agree, that the author probably not meant to establish an axiom: The axiom being established, while not having any support right now, does seem like something we can reduce in the future

As I wrote, I appreciate that the author wrote it out as they did. It might be reasonable in the context of the article. But fixing it as an axiom just makes the discussion boring (for me). > If you believe LLM have qualia, you also beli

i am not sure where this comment fits as an answer to my comment. Firstly, do understand that I am not saying that LLMs (or ChatGPT) do understand. I am merely saying that we don't have any sound frameworks to assess it. For the rest

There is an immensely strong dogma that, to my best knowledge, is not founded in any science or philosophy: First we must lay down certain axioms (smart word for the common sense/ground rules we all agree upon and accept as t

Of course your code should live up to requirements and be correct, for it to be good - The requirements can also be performance requirements. If you have a list of maximally 10 elements that needs to be sorted and you opt for quicksort over

Exactly my thoughts. The reason why good code is code that is easy to read, is because products evolve, and so does the code. Suddenly the taxonomy of that enum starts to shift, and the name that was perfect yesterday does not make sense to

I still rely heavily on principles acquired from courses on Software Architecture and PL studies as a part of my CS degree - and I can definitely see a difference in how people organise their code with same tenure but no schooling.

This is really nice to see! I asked about that feature almost 2 years ago as we wanted to use Supabase for everything. Unfortunately there were no plans back then to support it, so we had to use another provider for object storage. Congrats

you have many ways you can solve the issues without ristricting free speach. you can ristrict how you can monitize a product - I think the problem would be much smaller if you have to pay a price congruent to the value you get. Only a few p

A consumer is happy as long as they can run Edge on their computer and log in to Facebook. They will not complain about windows on ARM either. However, we can definitely agree that certain sectors will struggle more with Windows on ARM. My

The first year or two were a mess with support for Apple. I remember as late as 2023 to struggle with running certain, modern, tech stacks on the MBP M1. It is only within the last year that I feel like the ecosystem has entirely cought up.

You are both technically correct - the best form of correct. It seems like raspberry pi maxes out at 8GB of RAM, which effectively will not allow me to work. I also do not plan run Google's OS for chromebooks, and it seems like install

Currently I can run PopOS using Parallels, which runs surprisingly well! What I want is a computer with 64-128GB RAM, a really fast CPU and a coprocessor that does parallel computations (let's call it an AI chip like everybody else)

Laptops, sorry, not Desktops. And I would also want something that performs better than Raspberry Pie.
